The Shelter Today
Thank you for my life today
It’s so better now
I no longer live half-crazed
And I have a home somehow
You rescued me from my hunger
Providing food for body and soul
And when life nearly pulled me under
You tossed to me your rope
I am better these days
With no alcohol or drugs
And I’m an old timer they say
With newcomers that I love
I dream good dreams these days
In a bed that’s all mine
And I open my window shades
Each morning for the light
I often visit the homeless shelter
And my brothers and their needs
And I try to be their helper
Like those that helped me
